It was a Chinese design from an era long lost in age. I'm not sure about exactly what age it was from. The design was given to me by my master.

One thing that springs to mind is that unless fighting goblins, few vertical cuts are aimed at a waist height target. Maybe a shoulder or head height one would be more relevant?
"this [fight] looks curious, almost like a game. See, they are looking around them before they fall, to find a dry spot to fall on, or they are falling on their shields. Can you see blood on their cloths and weapons? No. This must be trickery."
-Reidar Sendeman, from King Sverre's Saga, 1201

We were trying to compair ourselves to those vertical cuts Toyama Ryu practices. In fact, it all started when I have a new student who is also a Toyama Ryu practitioner and I showed him my vertical cut, which literally out-cut his on the same target with the same sword. Now he plans to use our version in the upcoming competition this year to win the title. :P He was already the winner for entry level last year.
They cut with this method:

And my student compared both methods after learning mine for 1 day:
